World Cup 2006

[Liam]

I've just realised my predictions for Group C are shit.

I've got Serbia drawing all 3 and Ivory Coast only picking up 1 point :thumbsdown:

[Guest muddatrucker]

He played well enough I reckon.

[therockbox]

He's a football player.

Not a spectator.

Just cos we shouldn't, doesn't mean we don't. And today we did.

I think this has clearly been discussed enough.

RAMI SHAABAN IS PLAYING FOR SWEDEN!!!!!

Whatever happened to him anyway?

[Herr Matzat]

german comentary is trying to hardsell that trinidat might stand a chans :lmao:

[therockbox]

Ugh, Southgate on commentary again.

[Buford Ripley]

Fuck the use of farenheit!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Hehehehe I love Trinidad's token white guy

From Port Vale ain't he? Scored a screamer for T&T.

[TheArsenal]

COME ON FREDDIE!!!!!

[The Quasi Juice]

When you have a Wrexham player in your starting line-up you shouldn't expect to get any points.

[Steeb]

That was such a boring game to watch. Reading the paper was more entertaining. Then again, the paper had Jeremy Clarkson, which indicates TKO anyway. Hopefully we won't get a repeat against T&T.

Going to skip the Sweden/T&T match, so I can watch See No Evil, I think. Or just get something to eat. Then it's on to Argentina Vs. Ivory Coast, which should be excellent, if for no other reason than the Crespo/Drogba faceoff possibility. I expect Argentina to pull a classy, but not overwhelming win - 2-1.

Is Wilhelmsson sporting a mini Pat Sharp-Fun House mullet?

Eww, ABC's coverage has the colours all fucked up. It's like watching an episode of Alias.

In 10 minutes, this game has already entertained me more than the England-Paraguay match, if only for the ref getting taken out. >_>

[TheArsenal]

Avery John nearly killed the Pat sharpe look-a-like!!

[The Quasi Juice]

T & T aren't even that bad, they have surprised me so far.

[Ananas]

This announcer (on Sportsnet) is awesome...

"We get the feeling that Larsson doesn't agree with the decision. Puffing out his cheeks like a petulant child."

Man, T&T came out slow and tensive, but they really picked up towards the end of the half. Still noticeably the lesser team, but hey, it only takes one break.

[TheArsenal]

Avery John has been sent off after 30 seconds of the start of the second half.

It has been deserved. Both tackles (which got yellow cards) should have been red cards, and there were tackles that went unpunished.

Horrible, horrible tackles.

[fineintent]

Just got in.

Same old story for England, defending a one goal lead for 88 minutes - its fucking pathetic. Hargreaves plaing over Carrick, ignoring my Spurs bias, is a joke as well. I bet Brazil are quaking in their boots.

Bullshit. The first one deserved a yellow, but was just a little late rather than an overtly nasty challenge. The second one didn't deserve a card whatsoever, his feet were low and he won the ball, only catching him with his trailing leg. It would have gone un-punished in the Premiership, thats for certain.

Fuck FIFA and the change to the rules.

EDIT: Oh, and Intent, I know you are hyperbole-ing a little, but we didn't defend for 88 minutes. The first half performance was fine, it was just the second half we really sat back.
